ENCANTO: Mirabel, freaked out, sits up fast, bonking her head on the

underside of the table, then pops up.

MARIANO: (CONT'D) ...everything okay?

(Mirabel stares at Mariano, caught. Then…)

AGUSTIN (O.S.) Everything’s great, she’s just... excited! For you to

propose, which you should do as fast as you can --

MIRABEL: Yes!

MARIANO: Uh, I was actually... gonna...

MIRABEL: You were actually gonna! Great!

(Mirabel swivels Isabela’s chair toward Mariano. Abuela Guzman is a little

weirded out.)

ABUELA GUZMAN: Well, well -- well...since everyone here has a talent, my

Mariano wanted to begin with a song. Luisa, could you bring over the piano?

(Luisa, at the end of the table, moans, fighting tears. She sad marches to
“get the piano” knowing she can’t lift it. As she goes, Mirabel sees the cracks
spreading.)

LUISA: (through tears) Okay.

MIRABEL: Uh, it’s actually family tradition to sing after.

(On “AFTER” Mirabel shoves Mariano down on one knee. And motions for him
to begin.)

MARIANO: (Takes a breath) Isabela, most graceful of all the Madrigals-

ENCANTO: As the cracks spread, the House starts to malfunction. Mirabel

moves behind Mariano, shielding the family from seeing the cracks, but now
awkwardly horning in on the proposal.

MARIANO: (CONT'D) Um...

MIRABEL: You’re doing great.

(Under Agustín, Mirabel sees the Coatis take the GLOWING SHARDS of
MIRABEL’S VISION OUT OF HIS POCKET.)

MARIANO (O.S.) The most perfect flower in this entire Encanto.

(Outside, Luisa tries to shove a piano, making horrible scraping noises.
Abuela Guzman looks utterly confused.)

MIRABEL: No –

MARIANO: ...in this entire Encanto.

(The COATIS are almost done assembling the vision. Mirabel sees them and
panics.)

MARIANO (CONT'D) WILL YOU... MARRY ME?!

(No longer able to contain herself, Mirabel lunges at Coatis.)

MIRABEL: Nooo!

(Luisa falls to the ground, CRYING in defeat. Toucan is frightened by Pepa’s

storm cloud and goes flying over Abuela Guzman’s head who ducks just in
time.)

ABUELA GUZMAN: What is happening?!

DOLORES: (blurting) Mirabel found Bruno’s vision, she’s in it, she’s gonna
destroy the magic and now we’re all doomed!

(AND ON CUE, THE COATIS pull the VISION up on to the table. As Mirabel tries
to snatch it, she accidentally sends it sliding down the table, stopping right in
front of Abuela Alma.)

(EVERYONE LOOKS AT THE VISION, THEN TO MIRABEL and... CRACK! CRACK!

CRACK! Cracks ripple seemingly from Mirabel around the whole room and
everyone’s powers fritz and spasm. The ground cracks under Isabela who
(shocked) shoots a bunch of vines directly into Mariano’s face.)

(Pepa’s storm cloud opens up, unleashing a torrent of water onto the whole
table. As animals race out, they blow open the windows where we can see
the WHOLE TOWN out front, ready to celebrate.)

TOWNSFOLK FELICIDADES - (SEES CHAOS) whoa...

HARD CUT AS: the Guzmans leave, (dodging more chaos and animals) with
Abuela Alma in tow, Mirabel follows into the courtyard as well.

ABUELA ALMA: Señora, por favor!

MIRABEL: Abuela, please -- there’s gotta be an explanation!

(Isabela stomps past Mirabel.)

ISABELA: (to Mirabel, dramatic) I hate you!

(Luisa races past Mirabel, sobbing.)

LUISA: (crying) Ahh, I’m a loser!

AGUSTIN: Luisa!

(Pepa runs out, her weather going crazy.)

PEPA: (to Mirabel) What did you do?!

(More cracks ripple through the house.)

MIRABEL: I’m not doing anything! It’s Bruno’s vision! It’s...

(As Mirabel says that she notices... a green light moving on the ground...
It’s... a shard of the vision being carried by... A RAT. There are dozens of rats,
all of them are taking the shards from the dining room and racing up to the
balcony. )

(Abuela chases after Abuela Guzman and Mariano.)

ABUELA ALMA: The magic is strong! EVERYTHING IS FINE! We are the

Madrigals! (shuts door) MIRABEL! Thunder CLAPS!

EXT. CASA MADRIGAL - UPPER WALKWAY - NIGHT

(Lightning flashes and thunder rumbles as... Mirabel pursues the wet rats
(HOLDING A SHARD) along the upper walkway. But as she turns the corner...
they’re gone.)

(Then a noise... and she spots a single rat tail disappear through an opening
under... a LARGE PAINTING. Mirabel approaches the painting... studies it...
then slowly pulls it open, revealing... a PASSAGEWAY within the walls.)

INT. BETWEEN THE WALLS - CONTINUOUS

Mirabel climbs into the secret passageway between the walls of the house to
find the inside COVERED in CRACKS, which undulate malevolently. What is
this place?

A rat SQUEAKS as it scurries past Mirabel’s feet and away into the darkness,
but as its glowing shard retreats... the glow moves into the air. As Mirabel
squints to get a better look, FLASH! A bolt of lightning illuminates... BRUNO,
sinister and evil, who holds the shard.
Mirabel and Bruno stare at each other for an electric second. Another flash,
and he turns and runs - his shadow streaking away down a distant corridor.
Realizing this may be her only chance to understand Bruno’s terrible vision,
Mirabel races after him!

MIRABEL: HEY!

INT. BETWEEN THE WALLS - CONTINUOUS

Mirabel races through the narrow corridors, struggling to catch up in the

winding, twisting labyrinth.

Shafts of light peek through the interior of the house to illuminate them as
they streak by.

The rhythm of their feet creates a syncopated rhythm as they move faster
and faster, sliding down unexpected drops and tight turns.

INT. CASA MADRIGAL - PEPA’S BEDROOM - SAME TIME

We pop to the other side of the wall, where Camilo is trying to calm down
Pepa.

CAMILO: (sooo calming) It’s okay, Mami, deep breath in, deep breath out...

WHAM! Something slams the wall next to them, and when Pepa hears the
impact she panics, zapping Camilo with lightning.

INT. BETWEEN THE WALLS - SAME TIME

As Mirabel recovers from slamming a wall, another flash illuminates Mirabel.

MIRABEL: Stop! STOP!

Mirabel is almost to Bruno, but he jumps a CHASM and it looks too far for
Mirabel to follow. As Bruno disappears down a distant corridor, Mirabel
summons her courage and jumps and... MAKES IT! But the floor below her
gives way and she falls, barely catching herself at the last second... but only
holding on by a finger. Below is a seemingly endless fall into DARKNESS.

MIRABEL: (CONT'D) No-no-- HELP! HELP! (desperate, to the House) CASITA?!

CASITA?! (but it can’t help) HELP ME! HELP ME!

Too late, Mirabel loses her grip and falls and -- her hand is grabbed mid-air,
by... BRUNO. His face comes into the light, she sees he’s not at all what she
thought... he’s small, timid... and straining.

TIO BRUNO: You’re very sweaty.

But before Mirabel can respond... the floor underneath Bruno collapses too,
Mirabel grabs onto a loose board and catches Bruno. They are now both
dangling from the pit. As Mirabel looks at her uncle, a rat pop from his cloak
-- she startles and accidentally drops him to his death...
MIRABEL: Oh no!

But... there’s actually floor right beneath, he’s fine, they just couldn’t see it.
Bruno looks around, surprised.

TIO BRUNO: Huh.

Tio Bruno climbs up the wall boards as Mirabel helps him up. Bruno looks to
Mirabel... a long beat, then:

TIO BRUNO: (CONT'D) Bye.

MIRABEL: (confused, pursuing) What? No -- Hold on --

Mirabel hurries after Bruno and follows him through a strange “back of
house” tour: pipes, furniture, relics, evidence of the rooms on the other side,
etc.

As Mirabel tries to keep up, she sees that Bruno is EXTREMELY superstitious,
avoids WALKING UNDER A LADDER, has all kinds of good luck charms around
him.

MIRABEL: (CONT'D) Wait, wait -- Ow -- why did you take the vision? -- what
does it mean -- Is it why you came back or--

Tio Bruno passes a piece of wood.

TIO BRUNO: Knock, knock, knock. Knock on wood.

Then he crosses his fingers and holds his breath.

MIRABEL: Tio Bruno?

He passes another piece of wood.

TIO BRUNO: (tapping a wall, OCD) Knock, knock, knock. Knock on wood.
